Nice boots, if a bit small.

Fuckin' hell............ 76 quid!!!!!!!!!!

The clogs, however, were sold to me for 27 quid, would would seem to be altogether a better deal. Apologies to anyone else on the board who might have been bidding.
Looking forward to getting them. My mum threw my old clogs out while I was living in Poland a few years ago and I've felt there's been a little something missing from my life ever since.
However, my feet do err slightly more on the side of size nine than size eight, so they might not fit. In which case they'll probably be back on Ebay next week.

What Not Walkleys ???
-
They looked like Walkeys to me. In the 90's a cuple of the Goth type shops in Leeds used to stock them. I reckon that's where the lad bought em....... The soles had the right shape to em, aolt of other cloggers have either squared heel lead ins, or a much rounder sole profile...... Not the case with the Para clogs there....... So........ hebden Bridge is my guess fer place of origin. Just saying.

They do look very much like Walkley's. But don't Walkley's always have a little tin plate on the heel with Walkley's on it? These don't have that and there's no marks to show that they ever have. One of them has a slightly faded Scarab logo though, and I do have a very vague memory of something called Scrab Clogs from many years ago. Perhaps they bought the woods from Walkley's then put them together. Anyway, they fit and they're in pretty good condition so I'm rather pleased.

There was a Scarab Clogs in Sheffield now you mention it. Dunno if they put a logo on though. My walkleys paras didn't have any logo's on, the new ones don't either.
I haven't seen the Scarab clogs in the flesh, so honestly can't say either way.... The main thing is you got a right result at the money mate. My new Walkleys Austrian'sa cost me well over a ton....... Plus took bloody ages....... :-\
